What makes the fascination of flying? What is the reality in breezy altitude? The business aviation airliner Dagmar Grossmann has been nominated as the first woman of the Top ten Leader of the European Business Aviation Association (EBBA) in 2010. She has made job interviews with more than 4000 pilots in her life. Together with the political-economical journalist Judith Grohmann both authors will give a view behind the scenes of this fascinating job. From the education to the special situations during flights and how pilots resolve them nowadays, as well as “life in the second row” as a Co-Pilot and the competent reactions of feminine operators. Both authors also identify the different types and characters of pilots. The two authors try to show the different accesses of their protagonists at this complex profession or hobby. Tests for pilots as well as interviews with the inventor of the solarplane, talks with aviation psychologs, military-, police- and rescue-pilots as well as airliners, freaks, acrobatic pilots from The Flying Bulls & Red Bull Air Race, as well as testpilots from Boeing, Airbus and Concorde, as well as with pilots from major airlines from around the world complete the image of the job. A book for all those of you, who really wants to know more about this fascinating job: men as well as women.

Writing "On a Secret Mission" was an exciting experience, because I became the first journalist & author being introduced into a very special domain, that has never been opened to outsiders.
I was allowed to write about investigations and operations who are the daily work of Counter-Terrorist-Units in 16 countries of the World.

I dedicated this book to the American actor Kevin SPACEY after watching his performance in the movie "The Negotiator" in 1998, where he played Chris Sabian, a Negotiator of the SWAT unit from Chicago.
